After completing the separation stage, SpaceX recovered the Falcon 9’s first stage on a drone ship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

The first stage of Falcon 9 was previously used to launch the Telstar 19 Vantage satellite in July.

“Es’hail-2 will primarily serve the business and government sectors across the Middle East and North Africa.”

Built by Japan-based Mitsubishi Electric, the Es’hail-2 is equipped with Ku-band and Ka-band capabilities.

The satellite is designed to provide direct broadcasting services, communications and other services from its orbital position of 26° East.

Designed to operate for more than 16 years, Es’hail-2 will primarily serve the business and government sectors across the Middle East and North Africa.

In a separate development, SpaceX has secured approval from the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to develop, launch and operate the Starlink constellation comprising more than 7,000 satellites using V-band frequencies. However, the approval was granted with certain conditions.

In February, SpaceX launched the first set of two demonstration satellites of the programme into space.
